Hello Dennis, The reason why God did not accept Cain 's offering was because it was not a blood sacrifice. Throughout the history of the Bible blood sacrifice has been given. The only time a cereal or vegetable offering was made that I can recall is with a meat offering, except honey and leaven, Leviticus 2. Remember when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden an animal had to give up its life to clothe them, Genesis 3 21 "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them ". It does not say that animals were sacrificed, but knowing what was in the garden the only humans at this time were Adam and Eve then the only creatures left where the animals that had skin. Some scholars say it was because God had cursed the ground. Some scholars say because the sacrifice that Cain gave was not of the first of the crops he grew. However, along with Cain 's wicked nature, I think that because it was not a blood sacrifice then this is why God did not accept his offering. This still does not mean that Satan begot Cain. You have some people today that are wicked and do wicked things they were not begotten of Satan.
